Elizabeth stood by the window looking at the scrawny birds soaring over the snow feathered landscape looking for a hint of food or for the weaker birds, a way to escape from the desolate place.

"I know just how you feel." She mumbled to nobody in particular. Elizabeth shivered. It certainly had got colder since she had arrived in Hertfordshire to day-before.

Her solitary reverie was interrupted by a light tap of knuckles at the door followed by Jane's shapely head peering around the doorframe.

"Lizzy?" Jane inquired of her sister. Elizabeth looked over her shoulder and smiled at her.

"Oh, please. Come in. Do come in." Elizabeth implored of her and walked up to the door and took Jane's hands in her own and pulled her in.

"I'm sorry Lizzy, I- I don't wish to intrude." Jane said sweetly. Elizabeth laughed.

"But your not my dear, dear Jane." With that Elizabeth kissed her sister's cheek and smiled warmly. They both laughed happily as Elizabeth sat herself down on the corner of the bed and looked to where the opposing wall joined the floor and smiled inwardly before looking up at Jane. "Lord…it seems strange to sit and talk…as in the old way." Jane was came and sat next to her sister and smiled.

"Dear Lizzy…" Elizabeth looked around her.

"So you recollect the last time we sat in this room?" Jane placed her hand on Elizabeth's.

"How could I forget? I was ill, in bed and you walked through the cold weather to come nurse me," Elizabeth looked up at Jane and their eye's met. Tender love evident in both the china blue pair and the chocolate pair. "You are truly good Lizzy." The said shook her head before standing up and swinging around the bedpost.

"I suppose we'd best be off then." Jane nodded in ascent before getting up herself, and releasing Elizabeth's grip of the bedpost.

"Could you please not break my furniture Lizzy?" Elizabeth beamed at her. Jane raised her eyebrows questioningly before Elizabeth drooped her head and tried to have a solemn face but failing miserably. She and Jane both burst out it a fit of giggles before the latter clapped her on the shoulder and walking of to the dressing table. She gathered something up in her arms and returning to Elizabeth. "I believe this is yours." Elizabeth sighed at stroked it before relieving her sister of it before holding it out by the shoulders and looking at it. The going away coat was made of gold satin lined with taffeta, lace and a silk inside. The glimmered and shined like the midsummer sun. Elizabeth then proceeded to put it on button it up, put on her matching bonnet and adjust the peacock feathers in the mirror.

"There. What do you think?" Jane clapped her hands together.

"Oooo, Lizzy! You look so beautiful." Elizabeth cast her eyes down. Before smiling at her sister. The loud echo of her husband's strong voice wafted up the stairs so Elizabeth turned to her sister.

"Thankyou, and so do you!" She hugged her sister. "I think we best go now or we'll be late for the Poodle…" With that Elizabeth made for the door, half skipping, half running. Jane furrowed her brow and said in a very confused voice,

"Poodle?" Elizabeth laughed out her reply.

"Mama! Oh, come on silly." The two had one last hug before quitting the bed chamber.
